(Girls' Literature) "I hope this event goes smoothly today!" ”

As she sighed, there was a stiff and merciless shouting outside, "All vehicles are not allowed to move forward, please get out of the car and be checked." ”

Of course, after getting out of the car, the master has to undergo strict inspection before entering; And the accompanying subordinates are naturally not qualified to enter the Temple of Heaven.

After all, this kind of majestic ritual of worshiping the heavens is solemn and strict.

There must not be a single sinner who might blaspheme the gods, and there must not be a single danger that might endanger the safety of the emperor.

Leng Yue and Qing Ruo were both left outside, and Mu Xiaofeng and Mu Shaoxuan passed many strict inspections before finally slowly marching to the Temple of Heaven with the large army.

When the hour came, all those involved in the worship solemnly stood still and waited for the ceremony to begin.

There were 20,000 forbidden army personnel accompanying him, 5,000 officials to maintain order, and the rest of the 7788 added up to nearly 5,000 people.

The Temple of Heaven is towering with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is silent at this moment.

"When the auspicious time comes, the ceremony begins, and the drums begin." The loud voice of the Ministry of Rites fell, followed by the drumming.

Together with the drum music, Emperor Chu, who had already changed into a sacrificial costume, began to enter the round mound altar from the left door and worship on the middle platform. At this time, the burnt wood stove, welcoming the emperor god, played the "chapter of the beginning of peace". Emperor Chu slowly walked to the upper level of the Emperor God Divine Tablet to kneel and worship, incense, and then to the ancestors and ancestors in front of the throne to offer incense and bow. Return to the throne and bow three times and nine times to the gods, which is considered to complete the first procedure of "welcoming the emperor god".

And then, in the silence and solemnity of tens of thousands of people in the audience, Emperor Chu completed the ceremony step by step in accordance with the rules.

Although the whole process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and it greatly tests people's physical endurance, in such a strict scene, tens of thousands of people in the audience can really be so quiet that they can hear the needle dropping.

It's just that for a while, he knelt and worshipped, and in addition, he stood and stood in a proper manner under the scorching sun. This process is long and harsh, and it is really difficult for those who are weaker to bear the toss of these two hours.

Fortunately, the process of this two-hour ceremony was very smooth, and the Emperor of Chu finally stood on the high platform, standing respectfully and solemnly next to the incense burner, and only needed to quietly watch the sacrifice burned to be considered a successful completion.

Tens of thousands of people, who had been on high tension for two hours, looked at the smoke on the altar from afar, and most of the people's faces were faintly loose.

But Mu Xiaofeng was just the opposite of everyone, the closer the end of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony became, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

It's just that even if she is on high alert, it is useless. Before the ceremony began, the Temple of Heaven had been under martial law for several miles, and all places inside and outside the world where there might be hidden dangers were verified and confirmed by several high-ranking officials in charge of this matter.

It stands to reason that there should be no more accidents in the future.

However, Mu Xiaofeng looked at the unreal smoke on the altar, and always felt a sense of wind and rain coming. In particular, when the audience is so solemn and silent, it makes people feel nervous from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing that the last wisp of light smoke in the furnace was gradually drifting away in the wind, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was very excited and announced loudly, "Play the music of Youping." ”

This is the ceremonial music that will be played at the end of the ceremony, and when the drum music is finished, it means that the festival has also ended smoothly.

As the Ministry of Rites announced loudly, drums sounded at the Temple of Heaven.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people who had been silent for more than two hours seemed to suddenly show excited expressions.

However, they were excited, but no one lost their minds because of excitement and forgot that this was still at the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, so no one lost their voices.

It's just that the strange look of everyone still attracted the attention of Emperor Chu.

He immediately frowned in displeasure, but he didn't say anything to sabotage the last step, but turned around quietly and looked in the direction everyone was looking at.

At this moment, the music ended, perhaps the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also felt physically and mentally tired in this heavy festival, as soon as the drum music was over, he immediately announced in a loud voice, "The ceremony is completed, God bless Nanchu, Nanchu will become more and more prosperous and powerful under the rule of His Majesty's wise and martial arts." ”

His high-profile announcement means that the restrictions on banning speech and noise can also be relaxed slightly.

As a result, some officials who wanted to meet the horses almost couldn't wait to exclaim, "Xiangrui, it's Da Xiangrui." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, God blesses, Nanchu is blessed."

Emperor Chu finally turned around and looked up, and there were colorful auspicious clouds slowly floating in the vast sky.

He raised his head with his hands up, the corners of his mouth were already slightly upturned briskly, but he sighed in a deep voice with a straight face, "This is a colorful auspicious cloud?" ”

The tone sounded confused, but in fact it implied excitement. When he said this, the corner of his eye did not forget to sweep the book of the Ministry of Rites.

What a good sign this is.

He is hinting that the Ministry of Rites should hurry up and announce this matter to everyone, so that everyone can be in awe of him, the Son of Heaven who has been ordained by the Mandate of Heaven, and by the way, he will sing praises to him, the Son of Heaven.

He is not the only emperor who participated in the ceremony, but he is the only one who presents the colorful auspicious clouds at the ceremony.

Just thinking of this, Emperor Chu's chest seemed to be full of pride.

"Your Majesty, it's auspicious clouds, it's colorful auspicious clouds." The Ministry of Rites is very good, and as soon as he received Emperor Chu's eyes, although he was uneasy at first, he immediately realized something. He looked up, and although he could only see vague and fluttering clouds in the distance, he was already so excited that he exclaimed loudly and incoherently.

"Heaven blesses, it is the blessing of my Southern Chu to rain auspicious rui on the occasion of His Majesty's sacrifice to heaven today," the Ministry of Rites knelt down gratefully, bowed heavily to Emperor Chu, and shouted with words in his mouth, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

The sky is auspicious, and it blesses Nanchu. It was not only Emperor Chu who was happy, but all the people in the audience, under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites, were so excited that they knelt together, and everyone kowtowed and shouted long live.

Emperor Chu looked at this spectacular scene in front of him from above, and his mood was surging. The usually cold and majestic face, this will show a calm and gentle smile slightly.

Below, the crowd was agitated, and everyone respected him as the emperor; Everyone sings the praises of him, the pride of the sky, and even the heavens have specially sent auspicious rays today.

Emperor Chu looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes suddenly appeared in a trance, as if he suddenly had a feeling of returning to the previous high-spirited years.

He laughed out loud in a good mood, "Everyone, you are flat." ”

"This auspicious rui is the auspicious rui of heaven blessed Nanchu, and it is the auspicious rui of everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The uniform sound of excitement and thanksgiving sounded in this empty and open Temple of Heaven, and it even reverberated with an exciting taste.

However, just when everyone was about to get up, a dragon pillar made of white marble on the highest round altar suddenly exploded with a "bang".

When everyone was still in the excitement of Tianxian Xiangrui, the sound of the Panlong Pillar did not attract the attention of a large number of people.

However, Emperor Chu's face, which was still standing on the highest altar, suddenly sank.

Because after the explosion, the exploding dragon pillar smashed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Emperor Chu stood in the middle of the round altar, and the smashed Panlong Pillar couldn't hurt him no matter what. However, around the altar, there were forbidden troops standing three steps and one post.

From the moment the pillar exploded to the time it fell, it was actually just a blink of an eye.

No one expected such an accident to happen, and before a forbidden soldier standing under that pillar could react to what had happened, he was hit by the sudden fall of the dragon pillar.

However, the forbidden army that can protect the Son of Heaven at close range, the reaction is naturally not general. Although he was caught off guard, he was hit by the sudden fall of the dragon pillar. But at the last critical moment, the forbidden soldier still seized the last opportunity to move his body to the side.

It was this rapid two-inch distance that narrowly saved his life.

However, he was not smashed by the tall dragon pillar and fell on the spot, but one of his left legs was useless. Unfortunately, the left calf was completely smashed off the spot, and it was still smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, which made people unbearable to witness that.

Fortunately, this forbidden soldier is also a tough guy who can bear it. Even though his left leg was smashed on the spot, he was still able to bite his lip and not let the screams of pain break out of his throat.

Without screams, there would be no sudden panic among the masses.

Although Emperor Chu was extremely unhappy with this accident, he glanced at the forbidden army that was carried down with some admiration.

frowned, and his eyes immediately burst into a cold and cold light staring at the Ministry of Rites, "Don't hurry up and let people carry him away." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who was stunned by this scene, was immediately shocked by this loud shout, and with a trembling wave of his hand, he let the forbidden soldier who had broken his leg carried away.

However, after carrying the person away, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the puddle of blurred flesh and blood on the ground, and his face instantly turned pale and pale.

Just now, auspicious rui descended from the sky to show respect to Emperor Chu and protect Southern Chu, and such a fatal accident immediately occurred here.

You must know that there is an accident like smashing and injuring people and seeing blood at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, which is not a good sign.

Especially, after the auspicious weather just now.

Only then did such an accident suddenly happen, this was simply Chiguo slapping Emperor Chu in the face.

So at this time, Emperor Chu's entire face was black.

Before the ceremony, the work of repairing and inspecting the mushrooms was done jointly by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry. Of course, the specific responsible ones are the left servants of the two departments. However, at this moment, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu faced Emperor Chu directly on the altar.

Emperor Chu naturally took him first.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Chu was not obviously angry, but with a black face, his cold eyes and cold eyes shot over, and the momentum of not being angry was enough for the Ministry of Rites.
